Almost every place you work for, you will have to take a beating on your self+value and self+worth especially so if you are a man of your own opinions who calls a spade a spade. It is only the people pleasers who get along well at work with anybody.

In crises the most daring course is often safest.

If what you are is more important to you, than what you do, it is better to do nothing and have your sense of self+worth intact than do something and take a beating on your self+worth and self+esteem.
